Ellen genuinely loves people. You can see this in the way she serves her customers with such care, warmth, and friendliness.

Always aware of that fine line between good service and annoying salesmanship, Ellen will, after a warm greeting, let you browse undisturbed until you indicate your desire for assistance.

Need a guided shopping experience?  Ellen is happy to suggest fashion items that enhance your best features, match your coloring and create the image you need for any event.

A dedicated Oakland advocate, Ellen founded and helped organize SOBO ( South of Broadway, Oakland) Merchants Association.  SOBO's inaugural event is the 17th Street Fair, September 30, 2006.

Ellen's favorite marketing technique, well loved by her customers, is to throw an in-store party.  Often, these are lunchtime buffets that allow customers who work downtown to shop without skipping lunch.  Some are after hours with champagne and hors d'oeuvres.  Check her Events page for upcoming soirees.

If you can take the time, Ellen will turn your visit to Fashion and Art Revival into an opportunity for conversation and new personal connections.

Shopping at Ellen's store is a delight.  Her goal is to always offer surprising bargain prices while providing her customers with a personalized boutique-like shopping experience.  Come by.  Browse awhile.  Make a new friend.  Discover one of SOBO's hidden shopping treasures.
